    I've been using this phone since the beginning of 2018 and thus far, it has been the best phone I've ever had. It isn't the fastest phone on the market but it does everything I want it to do, with the exception of some games which it can't run these days. No big deal. It has even survived being completely submerged under water for over one minute (I dropped it into a muddle ditch at work and didn't see it at first). It's a sturdy phone. I've dropped it a few times and it has no damage whatsoever. I would definitely recommend this phone (in 2021) to someone who wants a budget second phone. If you can find it now, it should be cheap.

      I purchased this phone back in 2017, and only after 6 months, it became unusable because of the screen issue. I still use this as secondary phone just because the design is great. The flat edges reminds me of Lumia 800, which too I loved. This phone is for looks and only looks. To get the work done, I use Galaxy S9+.

          The screen stops working at the top and the sides and it gets worst over time. I had get this fixed 3 times still after a short period of time the screen has the same problem. (this problem affects the majority of the sony xperia's xa1). If you want to buy this phone, just DON'T!

              The SD card slot does not latch. The spring works but it will not "click" in. Does the SIM card need to be in for it to engage the SD card latch?

                My headset also had a problem with the charging port and the edges of the screen are gone. No sensitivity.

                I thought it was because I disinfected the screen too much during the first lock down, but I see it is a common issue. Unfortunately for me this all happened after the warranty period.

                I spent £45 to repair the charging port but with the screen I survived with a special buttons app.

                However I ended up buying a new telephone.

                  I used the phone 2 years, I bought it in october 2017 and january 2020 it was unusable.

                  I really liked the phone. I liked the sound, I liked the design, "great" I thought. The perfect phone for me.

                  But at the very start, at the FIRST DAY of use, the left side and the right side had no proper sensibility. I could press the p and q button, but often not on the first try.

                  But I didn't like to bring it back this early and it wasn't really annoying. I could live with it and the other things worked fine. So I did nothing.

                  But later, so after 1 year and a quarter, the notification bar became unresponsible. From then on, it only was working on lock screen.

                  Also the uqualizer had a small issue. Sometimes there was bass, sometimes not.

                  Then, it got worse and worse. At some point even the home and the back button stopped working! At this time, the phone was nearly unusable. I navigated through the phone with the "app button" (I'm not sure with the proper name), the button at the right side beneath the home button.

                  But at some point, also this button wasn't working everytime anymore. And it always got worse. This was the time, the phone got unusable.

                  What happend a bit later was that also the usbc charging port wasn't working properly anymore. Only if you've put a heavy thing on it, it charged. That's weird. Maybe a contact issue.

                  To me, it seems like both a software and a hardware issue. Software because of the equalizer for example and hardware because of the screen and charging issues.

                  But, there is also another thing I need to say, I think that's important and helpful, after I've read a lot of other comments here:

                  1. I had nougat on my phone, I didn't apgrade to oreo! But had all the issues, people told would only appear on oreo!

                  2. I didn't play games and also forced the stop of apps I didn't need - same issue.

                  3. Sometimes I heard the akku sliding up and down when I was "shaking" the phone.

                  4. I didn't have too much pictures or songs on my phone.

                  5. I haven't let 8 apps or so open when using my phone.

                  6. I mainly used it only for internet (google), communication and music.

                  7. Factory reset didn't do anything.

                  I am still curious what the main cause of these problems is. If someone knows it, please post!

                    The edge problem is the software update, sony didn't bothers to fix the bug because it's old and they think it's not usefull to them. Shame on them.. this is how important are customers to them

                        I love Sony that's why I bought this product. Sadly, after a few months of using it, the touchscreen failed on the letters and numbers on the side. I think it's because of the design. The bezel is too thin. I couldn't press the letter p and the number 1 on my selected keyboard.
                        Had to bring it to a repair shop. They weren't able to fix it completely though.

                        It's very sensitive. You should buy a film protector and a case for it.

                                  Worst device I have ever owned. Second year of usage and screen edges are completely dead, not a single menu button out of three (bottom screen) responds anymore, not to mention letter "p" on the keyboard which is on the very right edge of the screen never even worked in the first place. Its a disgrace to company name and complete shit product. Price does not matter it is wasted money.

                                      Good as a smallish back up phone (fits in jean pockets).

                                      But beware of buying second hand. Had the same problem with the screen edges as other users

                                        Very happy with the phone, until screen lost sensitivity all round the edges. Not happy needing to replace, but it has progressed from a nuisance to unusable.
